ok
long drive. romo, don't make it harder than it needs to be (NO TURNOVERS)

Why give the ball to JJ when he can only
pick up 1-1/2 yds?
You gotta start somewhere
And they need to move out of their own goal
If you guys would just read the Gameday notes
on the first open thread, you'd have it. ;-)
Thanks Dad!
Just kidding...thanks Grizz. I'll pay more attention next time I'm psychotically trying to find a game online.
first penalty of the game
against Dallas. made it thru the whole first half without one.
Ware - roughing the passer
What? Marinelli Declined a Penalty
That would have given him a second and ten at the three, and accepted a makeable third down.
Terrible coaching. We got off the hook on that one.
well, would have been half way to the goal?
oh, I guess they don't get added on top
of each other
Romo lost his cool
You're funny
Oy, we are getting beat physically
I didn't think that could happen
julius jones
needs to get benched. drastically reduce his carries
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:01 PM CST reply actions
I can't see it
but based on numbers and past performance, MB3 needs to be in the game any time we're behind.
Come on Dallas. Defense needs to bail us out here (or just do something productive).
that last drive of the first half
looked really good, they found their rhythm. this one? not so much..
Kitna Has Been Sacked
48 times this season, most in the league. No sacks today. Has he even been touched?
Hatcher once, Ware on the roughing play
That's about it, our pass rush stinks today
I know, you asked if he'd been touched
amazing
that the cowboys can't get sacks.
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:03 PM CST reply actions
They are going to get a least 3 here.
I am ready to declare this one a loss. We can't do anything well enough to get back in the game.
it's still close
and there's still plenty of time, and they can explode at any time.
our defense SUCKS!!!!!
we can't stop the run or the pass of a.500 ball club!
Definitely a letdown game...
they happen, even in years we've won the SuperBowl.
Who cares, we're not going to run across this team again in the playoffs.
by Pete on Dec 9, 2007 2:09 PM CST up reply actions
Gee, another reason...
for Kitna to shoot his mouth off after the game. :P
by Pete on Dec 9, 2007 2:08 PM CST reply actions
We are in huge trouble
i'd be worried about
home field advantage throughout the playoffs
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:10 PM CST up reply actions
Well...
if we stay even with GB the rest of the way, we still have it.
by Pete on Dec 9, 2007 2:11 PM CST up reply actions
there needs to be a sack or a turnover soon
otherwise this game is over.
and that is assuming the cowboys actually drive the field
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:10 PM CST reply actions
Pretty Sad
That Bradie James spends all week getting indignant about Kitna's disrespectful comments, and then the Lions run right over him all day.
I was worried we were doing way too much talking this week. I was right.
ARGH!
This is bad.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:11 PM CST reply actions
27-14......
I can't believe it!
the have run the ball down our throats all day....we're lucky that they had to settle for 2 FG's or it would be 41-14....Disgusting!
okay, good field position
quick TD and we're right back in it.
C'mon ROMO....we spotted them 2 TD's
lets get one back now!
this is disgusting
Where the heck are our two sack leaders??
The lions are really scared of austin
maybe we should use him to get a couple pass interference calls....LOL
no injuries
that is at least one good thing. the lions are getting really beat up. this is like, what the 4th or 5th player to go out?
huge third down
especially since i don't think you can go for it here
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:21 PM CST reply actions
One quarter left for redemption Dallas
Try to take advantage
Okay If We Don't Convert
On third down, and the distance is still around three yards, do you go for it on fourth down?
I don't think we have any choice. You have to go for it.
yeah
Feeds usually are a bit behind.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:26 PM CST up reply actions
Gutsy call Wade
MB3 is the TD machine
Ellis' little conference
will do the trick! we did stop them 3 and out on the first drive, so it is possible!
It better.
Because this has been ridiculous.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:27 PM CST up reply actions
after they gave up the last TD
he had the D unit together on the sidelines giving them some rather animated talk
i think it was the right call
just because the ball was so close. but gutsy play call giving it to MB3 4 times in a row. and redding almost had him too
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:27 PM CST reply actions
That's what a Championship team does
We KNOW we can score in the Redzone...don't back off...huge confidence for our O, and demoralizing for their D
coud have been better
but definitely manageable
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:29 PM CST up reply actions
Oh where, oh where has our Defense gone
oh where, oh where can it be?
With their quick pass rush and their fearsome run stop,
oh where, oh where can it beeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Again no pass rush
Our D is getting torched
so much for the defense
already in field goal range
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:31 PM CST reply actions
2 weeks in a row no points in 3rd Qtr
looks like another december collapse
by cjr126 on Dec 9, 2007 2:31 PM CST reply actions
our D must be worn out by now, too
man, he was wide open
This is torture to watch
wade phillips is a joke
wasn't wade brought in here to improve this defense?
by cjr126 on Dec 9, 2007 2:33 PM CST reply actions
man, he had all day
but they held. Detroit still hasn't put this thing away.
Yeah, Hanson missed
embarrassed once again by detroit
cowboys just were not prepared today.....again another knock on wade phillips.
this is why i can't see this team winning in post season.
wade just doesn't have the balls to kick this team in the ass.
by cjr126 on Dec 9, 2007 2:35 PM CST reply actions
knock on wade phillips
you have found a lot to complain about in a 11-1 season?
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:37 PM CST up reply actions
Dallas ball, less than 1 TD behind
this is still very much a game
We got a break there.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:36 PM CST reply actions
wow
but seriously, what's with the defense
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:36 PM CST reply actions
They've left the door open
now it's time to bust through
Nice play Romo and Crayton
NICE!!!
I thought Witten caught that last one and it could have been challengd, but that was much better!
time to capitalize
big time
by RoyalsReview @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:39 PM CST reply actions
Anyone take a look...
at the 'Pride of Detroit' game blog?
Why is it only one person making all the comments?
by Pete on Dec 9, 2007 2:40 PM CST reply actions
Huge 3rd down conversion
Is TO getting triple teamed?
Witten and Crayton are catching the ball every time It's going to them, but the unstoppable franchise wideout hasn't done anything of substance.
yes
in some cases at least. they are paranoid about him and the long ball, and they have taken it away, but it is leaving witten open in the middle, he just has to run out and turn around in the hole.
We need to score NOW
so that when the Lions get the ball back and go down and score we will have enough time to come back and win the game.
gotta score soon
so the boys can get the ball back after detroit scores again...
by RoyalsReview @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:48 PM CST reply actions
that did not just happen
noooooooooooo
by RoyalsReview @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:49 PM CST reply actions
well, we stop them here
get the ball back, and then score without any time left
Wow, that was awful defense on 3rd down
Damn
Can anybody tell me what's going on with our secondary?
by DallasFanInDetroit on Dec 9, 2007 2:52 PM CST reply actions
Defense is giving it away
pathetic
by RoyalsReview @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:52 PM CST reply actions
At least Martz keeps stopping the clock
martz is also getting first downs
by RoyalsReview @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:55 PM CST up reply actions
Does anyone know what's going on
with the secondary??? This has been happening all year
by DallasFanInDetroit on Dec 9, 2007 2:54 PM CST reply actions
KITNA WAS RIGHT
our D has no clue,we put NO PRESSURE ON HIM....Its simply pitch and catch....
this is the game right here
i woudl be absolutely shocked if we stop them
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 2:56 PM CST reply actions
So much for Wade Phillips as "Coach of the Year";
and Garrett getting a head coaching job!
We made a play!
One last chance
way to go cowgirls
how is it that we scored our fewest points against the worst defense in the nfl. even the vikings beat detroit by 30 points.
what an absolute joke.
by cjr126 on Dec 9, 2007 2:58 PM CST reply actions
Wow
Some of you guys are pretty quick to bail on the coaching staff. One game does not ruin the great season we've had, and we haven't even lost yet.
for sure
the games' not over, and even if we end up losing, it is only one game and we're still 11-2!
i'm with you
eternal optimist, faith until the end!
keep hope alive
by RoyalsReview @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:01 PM CST reply actions
Witten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WITTEN!
okay, all you naysayers, eat crow now!!
defense
step up one more time!!!!
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:10 PM CST reply actions
J-Witten for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony Romo for Secretary of Defense!
by DallasFanInDetroit on Dec 9, 2007 3:11 PM CST reply actions
holy cow
I have to say, I really kind of wish they would win more easily, but these kinds of wins sure make for exciting football to watch!
the kind of wins
that really build character. exposed weaknesses, but also showed the character of champions
gee whiz
what a ridiculous game
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:14 PM CST reply actions
the comments after this game should be good
hopefully it is a lot of humble pie from the defense as if they lost but none of that snarky trash talk from the detroit guys.
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:18 PM CST reply actions
all I know is that we didn't play well but
still won, thats a sign of a great team.
assuming
the defense says anything at all. If I was one of those guys I wouldn't have anything to say after a game like this.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:21 PM CST up reply actions
and if I was Detroit
I wouldn't say anything either because...well...I lost.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:22 PM CST up reply actions
Oh man.
I'm glad we won, but damn.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:19 PM CST reply actions
now, if the Steelers pull it out
we share the best record in the league
Dallas Wins the Division for the First Time
Since 1998. And as a bonus, the Eagles missed a tying field goal on the last play of the game. How sweet as that?
hooray!
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:26 PM CST up reply actions
correct on both counts
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 9, 2007 3:26 PM CST up reply actions
WOW
All i can say is way is WOW!
Thanks to Houston Texans for Beating
Tampa Bay. If Seattle loses today as well, we'll have clinched a first round bye.
And Greg Ellis
Moves into second place for sacks in the NFL. He has 11.5, and is tied with KC's Jared Allen. KC's game is in progress.
Just Remember
This shows once again we can come from behind in the last minutes of the game. Keep that in mind when we're trailing in the Super Bowl.
I agree with you on that one
our defense was horrible today,run and pass. we were actually lucky the defense held detroit to 2 FG in the early going or this game would have gotten out of hand EARLY!
our defense held them to 1 TD in 2nd half
Detroit has a good offense when they remain balanced like they did today
